Tom Jackson‘s statements come one day after the film’s location manager Mark Voyce said Parks Canada denied his team a permit in Banff and Jasper national parks, citing aboriginal concerns and suggesting the project might need an environmental assessment.

“They never read the script,” Jackson said, adding he had written a letter to Parks Canada seeking to clarify the film’s plot.

Jackson said in the film, he plays a gang leader who is avenging the death of his son. He said Neeson’s character’s son is killed by the same man.

“I was given the privilege of reading through this script,” he said. “I saw no compromise on how this [film] portrayed First Nations people.”
